If you're focusing on payments, there's nothing illegal about it unless they're made due to extortion. Congress used to do it with your money. With all of the other efforts to unseat an elected president, it wouldn't surprise me these matters weren't also fabricated.

The one good thing that trump has done in his whole life is expose the lie of decades of republicans claims of having the moral high ground. --And being concerned about the national debt, and opposing racism, dictators, supporting the COTUS, in short every damn thing the right been claiming. It has all been lies.
